On the 15 DPIs drawn by Flacco, 11 of the accepted penalties have come on throws more than 15 yards downfield. The common theme among them? Underthrown passes. Six of the penalties have come as a result of an underthrown downfield pass with the receiver coming back for the ball but the defender failing to adjust.

So Flacco and Eli have drawn the most PI penalties since 2008, the two guys who have ended the Pats season a combined 4 times. And they also happen to be the two most boring QBs in the NFL. What a strange and annoying combination.

When Gronkowski arrived for his predraft visit in New England, the Patriots simulated the team’s classroom experience. O’Brien and fellow assistant Brian Ferentz taught him blocking schemes, which Gronkowski absorbed and then demonstrated after ripping off his coat. “We were laughing our asses off, he was blocking the hell out of us,” says O’Brien, now the Texans’ coach. By the end of the meeting, Gronk’s yellow dress shirt was untucked and stained with marker from the grease board. And the Patriots were sold, trading up to get him in the second round, one of Belichick’s shrewdest moves.

One of the best things I’ve ever read on Gronk. Get the rest here:
